Halo Remake Teased For Next Year To Celebrate Xbox’s 25th Anniversary

Expert Verified By

Expect A Huge Year For Xbox In 2026!

Story Highlight
  • The Xbox Games Showcase, which recently took place, was epic but didn’t feature the upcoming Halo.
  • While the game didn’t appear directly, Phil Spencer did tease that it will be released next year.
  • Spencer said a classic that has been with us since the beginning will return next year.

It has already been confirmed that the Halo Remake is in the works by Xbox. While there was initially a lot of controversy surrounding the title, it seems to have dialed down, and fans seemed hype.

Fans were expecting the title to appear during the Xbox Games Showcase, but it didn’t. However, Phil Spencer did tease that the game will be released in 2026.

Why it matters: Halo is one of Xbox’s oldest and most iconic franchises that the fandom truly adores. So, the success of a remake is already guaranteed.

Halo-Unreal-Engine-5
Microsoft owns some of the most influential and profitable gaming franchises in the world.

The overall showcase was pretty great, but Phil Spencer wanted to spoil its fandom even more. So, he closed the show by saying that next year, a new Fable, Forza, Gears of War, and an old classic would be released.

In 2026, Xbox players will celebrate a quarter-century of Xbox with a new Fable, the next Forza, Gears of War E-Day, and, “The return of a classic that’s been with us since the beginning.

-Phil Spencer

Here, Spencer is most probably talking about Halo as “the return of a classic that’s been with us since the beginning”. This would make total sense, and the fandom agrees.

Fans are speculating that Phil Spencer is talking about Halo here since the original Halo title launched alongside the very first Xbox on November 15, 2001. Therefore, the probability of this classic returning is very high.

The game’s development is also progressing smoothly, as previously reported, with an earlier release date now expected due to the shift to Unreal Engine 5
